Into the Magian's cloister , came my Friend a goblet in His hand

With wine intoxicated , He with his eye intoxicated the wine - drinkers . *** In His steed's hoof , appeared the form of the new moon

From His lofty stature , low , the stature of the lofty cypress . *** Well , wherefore , shall I say Existence is mine when no knowledge of myself is mine

Wherefore shall I say Non - existence is mine when my expectation is to be with Him God *** When He arose to depart the light of the candle of the heart of friends went out in non - existence

When He sate down entered the hidden the spectators' clamour through loss of Him , and farness from Him arose . *** If noisome civet became fragrant , it was associated with His tress

If indigo became a bowman , it was associated with His curved eye - brow . *** Like the candle , night to morning , itself my existence .

Consumed like the moth and only sate down rested as long as it was day . *** O true Beloved Come back that Hafiz's spent life may come back

Although the arrow that hath sped from the aim of the bowman cometh not back . ***
